A regular window being a GUI window? This means you have to program using libraries or GUI enabled IDE for development. For example, using Visual C++ Express IDE will allow you to build "windows applications" which feature the "normal windows" you are talking about.

But regular C/C++ (without any helper libraries) are console based languages so their output is in the dos style window.

So if you want to step up and get into the whole "visual" aspect then you will need something like Visual C++ Express which is free and you can download it from Microsoft's website.

all the maths and variables wont need win32 equivalent code just calculate them as normal and wrap it in a win32 skeleton. here is one for you to use:
